After committing some serious defensive mistakes, the Thorns settled down and got back to two goals they had shipped to start the match. The resulting 2-2 draw was a huge lift for Sky Blue — and major bummer for Thorns and Riveters alike.
Nobody predicted a draw which, on paper, was a laughable outcome. Honors go to johnmclarke3, who predicted a Heath self-assist for three points. The wild bonus nod goes to Constant Weeder, who tied WallofEmilys with 2 rec’s, but whose prediction included an inside-joke meme of the Sky Blue coach’s hatred of whiteboard markers.
The next match is Saturday at 4:30 Portland time, as the Thorns make a second visit to the Orlando Pride.
